To all whom it may concern; 7

Be it known that we, JoHANNEs JANS N and VILHELM NEELMEIER, doctors of philosophy, chemists, citizens of the German Empire, residing at 'Leverkusen, near Cologne, Germany, have invented new and useful Improvements in New Azo Dyestuffs, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to the manufacture (X meaning hydrogen or methyl, R meaning hydrogen, alkyl or aryl, R, meaning alkyl or aryl).

The new products possess the valuable property that they can be dyed on wool together with bichromate in the same bath. They can also be dyed on a chrome mordant or according to the after-chroming method. The dyeing in one bath is best done by adding the dye with the bichromate to the bath, entering the wool, boiling, adding acetic acid in small portions and boiling a ain. Red to violet to black shades fast to light are thus obtained.

The new dyestufis are dark powders soluble in water generally with a red to violet color, and soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid generally with a red to brown color. They yield upon reduction with stannous chlorid and hydrochloric acid orthoaminophenol derivatives and substituted diaminophenols having the general formula:

X R c n \R1 NHL R and R, having the above given meanlng In carrying out our new process practically we can proceed as follows, the parts being by weight:

l Example :-'l88.5 parts of '5-nitro-et-chloro- "Q-aihinophenol are diazotized in the usual manner by means of hydrochloric acid and 7 parts of sodium nitrite. The diazo compound is then added to an aqueous solution, which has to be stirred, until the combination is finished, of 137 parts of meta-oxydimethylanilin in an acetic acid or alkaline soway. It is a dark powder which is soluble in water with a violet and which is soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid with a red color. By reduction with stannous chlorid and hydrochloric acid 2.5-diamin0-L-chlorophenol and 3 dimethylamino 6 amino 1- phenol areobtained. It dyes wool according to the above described method bluish-violet shades of good fastness to light.

The process is carried out in-ananalogous arylated meta-aminophenols e. g. meta-oxy-v diphenylamin, 2 monomethylaminoi-cr'esol (CH NHGH OH:1:2:4:), ethylamino-4-cres0l (CH NH.C H OH:

(GH :OH:1:2:4) etc. Other orthoaminophenol derivatives may be used, such as i chlorol-Q-aminophenol, 4.6-dichloro-2- aminophenol, L-nitro-2-aminophenol, 5-nitro- 2-aminophenol, picramic acid, 6-chloro-4:-nitro-Q-aminophenol, 6-nitro-4-chloro-2-aminophenol, 6-methyl-t-nitro-2-aminophenol, 4- methyl6-nitro-2-aminophenol, 2.4-dinitro-3- methyl-6-aminophenol, etc.

Having now described our invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. The herein-described azo dyes derived from substituted metaamino phenols having the formula above given combined with sulfonic or carboxylic groups but contain nitro groups or halogens, and which dyestufis are, after being dried and pulverized, dark powders soluble in water generally with a red to violet color, soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid generally with a red to brown color; yielding upon reduction with stannous chlorid and hydrochloric acid orthoaminophenol derivatives and substituted diaminophenols having the above given formula; and dyeing wool together with bichromate and acid in the same bath from red to lution. The dyestuffis isolated in the usual manner on starting from other alkylated or 2 mono-- 1:2;4), Q-dimethylamino- L-cresol ((3H,:N

orthoaminophenol derivatives that have no violet to blec k shades, siibstantielly as de the same bath bluish-violet shades fast to 2. The herein-described new azo dyestufi obtainable from 5-nitro-&;-chlore-2-aminophenol and meta-oxydimethylanilin, which dyestufi is, after being dried and pulverized, a dark powder soluble in water with a violet color and soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid with a red color; yielding upon reduc tion with stannous chlorid and hydrochloric acid 2.5-diamino-c-chloro-phenol and di methylaniino-6-emin'o-l-phenol; and dyeing wool together with bichromate and acid in light, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
